Junior Prom is the only day for a junior to get dolled up and enjoy a night with their friends. People say prom can be boring but honestly, it is all about the people you take with you to prom, Although I can say the music has a huge role during the night.
There are so many things to worry about getting done before prom which stresses a lot of students out. Boys and girls have similar things that need to be done before but I would say that girls have a little more to worry about.
Girls need to make appointments to get their nails and toes done, maybe even their hair. But if you are lucky enough and know how to do all of that on your own then it still is stressful needing to find time out of your day to get it done. Again though, if you don’t know how to do any of that then there are appointments that need to be scheduled as soon as possible because a lot of places can not take you in because of such short notice.
There are a few places I go to when it comes to scheduling appointments for my hair, nails, and toes. The Blowout is a great place where you can get your hair done, they have lots of talent when it comes to hair and it will come out just the way you want it to come out. And they have great customer service. Now for nails, there is the place that I go to which is called Spring Nails in Citrus Heights, I know kind of far but they are the sweetest and they are the best at both nails and toes.
Now, You still need to find your dress which is the scariest part. You don’t want to get the dress that everyone is wearing but you don’t want to get one that is a scary color or out of “trend”. But of course, girls pick out dresses if they like them. No one is looking for others’ opinions, it’s all about whether or not the person wearing the dress likes it. And sometimes when you order a dress it takes more than a month depending on where you get the dress. So you don’t want to go dress shopping a week in advance.
Boys need to start looking for tuxedos and shoes. They need to find a good color just like dresses, boys like a specific way a tuxedo fits them, whether a little snug or loose. Over the ankles or not over the ankle, neck buttons buttoned or neck buttons not buttoned. Tuxedos don’t usually take as long as dresses online but with the altering of the suit, boys need time to get that done. They need to make appointments for their haircuts and possibly get some accessories too.
If you are going with a big group or even just another person, you need to plan efficiently with the other people that you are going with. Finding rides to places and back will be an issue if you don’t drive so you might want to ask your parents. If you want to take pictures before prom, I would suggest taking pictures before eating, personally, I wouldn’t want to get food before pictures because I don’t want to look bloated. But figure out where the pictures will be taken and then after pictures you will then need to figure out where you guys will eat and make reservations ahead of time, probably days in advance.
